The Best Ways to Treat Skin Affected by Aging

In a perfect world, we gain all the wisdom, life experience and beautiful moments that aging brings us – without showing any signs of getting older. And even though maturing leaves us with imperfect and inevitable physical changes such as dark spots and, more popularly, wrinkles, there are (thankfully!) forms of treatment that can decrease the appearance – and even reduce the chances of – any blemishes and changes to the skin. These top six treatments range from topical moisturizers to more aggressive procedures, and have been proven to reduce the appearance of both fine and deep wrinkle lines.

1. Dermapen

The Dermapen’s thin structure allows for an all-inclusive skin treatment, puncturing the top layer of skin with a set of needles. The Dermapen will let your skin rejuvenate itself bottom-up, and has been to known to solve problems like tight, stagnant skin, acne and stretch marks. More importantly, though, the Dermapen lessens and removes wrinkles and fine lines altogether. Because of its thin, pen-like shape, it is able to treat wrinkles around even the hardest-to-reach places like the nose, and even the area surrounding your lips. Most people only need four to six Dermapen treatments to see noticeable, successful results.

2. Dermaceutic Peels

Different people have different types of wrinkles, primarily based on age, sun exposure and other underlying factors. That being said, some wrinkles are deeper set into your skin, and require a more serious type of attention. Dermaceutic peels treat these wrinkles through skin stimulation, in the form of extremely effective yet non-invasive exfoliants. There are three successful types of Dermaceutic peels, which differ in their ingredients and approaches: The Milk Treatment superficial peel, the Spot Treatment moderate pigment-focused peel, and the Cosmo Treatment advanced rejuvenation system.

3. Neocutis

Clinically proven to diminish the appearance of a person with aged skin, Neocutis is a skin nourishing technology that uses processed skin cell proteins (PSP) to reduce and eliminate any wrinkle lines. PSP is exclusive to Neocutis products, and is a refreshingly new, naturally balanced blend of proteins that nourish the skin and polypeptides. Studies show that the Neocutis bio-cream, in particular, improves the appearance of wrinkles after two months of daily application. The Neocutis bioserum intensive treatment is also an efficient option; the treatment actually uses light microspheres, which adhere to wrinkles immediately giving off the impression that they are fading.

4. Botox Injections

Making older celeb faces look more polished and youthful than ever before, Botox injections definitely earn a spot on the list of top wrinkle treatments. Over an extended period of time, the wrinkles that form on your face – primarily your forehead – become long-lasting and damaged by the sun. Botox injections are used to relax these stiff muscles, temporarily reducing the appearance of the lines altogether. Wrinkled areas that typically require the most Botox injections include frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. However, people have also been known to receive them at the corners of their mouth and at the sides of their nose.

5. Fillers

Often paired with cosmetic Botox procedures, receiving wrinkle fillers will give your face a smoother, more full appearance. While there are many options available, Juvederm Voluma XC is currently the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel available that instantly adds volume to the facial area; since wrinkles can make a face appear thinner than it should, this is definitely a treatment worth trying. People who receive Juvederm Voluma XC fillers are able to do so in one simple session, and enjoy long-lasting results up to two years.

6. Laser Resurfacing

Also known as laser vaporization, laser resurfacing utilizes a laser – containing either carbon dioxide or erbium – to get rid of cells that have been damaged at the skin’s surface. Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing uses a pattern of short, palpitated light energy to remove layers of the skin, and leaves the patient with a recovery time of two weeks. Erbium laser resurfacing, on the other hand, removes deeper wrinkle lines and has few to no side effects, allowing for an almost instant, speedy recovery.
